Well, the bible mentions Mystery, Babylon the Great. I maintain it ties in to these mystery societies. The hand that rules at the top of the heap. The ones that cause the wars, the defaults and whatever they want to happen. That would explain why its all so pervasive because all is done in secret.

Quoting: bigD111

Here is a top secret society with aliens behind them and which in turn controls sections of the Illuminati:

S.A.A.L.M., Supreme Annunaki Assembly of Lord Marduk

Their sole purpose is to bring "King Marduk" up on the Throne of Earth, as her righteous ruler. They believe in Prophecy and consider Marduk being the AntiChrist the bible has been predicting.
